NIH Toolbox: a multidimensional set of brief measures assessing cognitive, emotional, motor and sensory function from ages 3-85, meeting the need for a standard set of measures that can be used as a “common currency” across diverse study designs and settings.

The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is an NIH-funded initiative to develop and validate patient reported outcomes (PROs) for clinical research and practice. PROMIS aims to enhance and standardize measurement of several selected PROs through both computer adaptive testing and traditional “paper and pencil” instruments.
